one of the clubs i truly envy

meth coke have an amazingly strong record of being a finals side  - they've only finished outside the 5 / 6 / 8 nine times in their existence (twice in their first three years), and even then they've only dropped into the bottom few on half those occasions (and used that as an opportunity to 'bounce' back up the ladder quickly with good drafting and trading)

they've already been rumoured to be 'into' tim english from the dogs and logan mcdonald from sydney, have a heap of players due to roll off big salaries soon, and are, arguably, the wealthiest club in the competition

 

Did they win the 2021 flag though?

    So, the Demons have finally been knocked off their perch after the Dockers thrashed the Eagles yesterday. The thrashing in Perth assured Freo of top spot on the 2022 pre season ladder with only today’s Richmond v Geelong blockbuster replay of the 2020 grand final to complete the opening round. 

    Fremantle 1 - - 141 44 320.5 4
    Melbourne 1 - - 132 44 300.0 4
    Brisbane 1 - - 138 49 281.6 4
    Collingwood 1 - - 111 45 246.7 4 *
    Gold Coast 1 - - 76 55 138.2 4
    GWS Giants 1 - - 126 95 132.6
    Carlton 1 - - 67 60 111.7 4
    Essendon 1 - - 81 75 108.0 4 

    ————————————————————

    Western Bulldogs - 1 - 75 81 92.6 0
    St Kilda - 1 - 60 67 89.6 0
    Sydney Swans - 1 - 95 126 75.4 0
    Port Adelaide - 1 - 55 76 72.4 0
    Hawthorn - 1 - 44 111 39.6 0 *
    Adelaide - 1 - 49 138 35.5 0
    North Melbourne - 1 - 44 132 33.3 0
    West Coast Eagles - 1 - 44 141 31.2 0

    * The anomaly of the round was the Collingwood v Hawthorn game played over six quarters (sixths) which ended in a 141 all draw but I’ve only counted the serious part which was the first three quarters that saw the Pies well in front at the not so final siren. The rest of that game was a bit like this series - somewhat Mickey Mouse.

    I've heard that Grindr can get pretty tense at times.

    If the eagles are chasing Tim English then maybe Jackson has already told them no, you would think west coast would want Jackson before English

    I hope he has predicted us to miss the 8 again, like he did last year.

    And their supporters are insufferable. And 1990, 1991, 1994 & 2018 - that's why they're one of my most hated club's.

    I guess it is pretty early to make judgements but having watched most of these 

    practice games all the other teams apart from ours looked very disorganised.

    Our systems are looking strong like our playing list

    As someone mentioned on this thread the only team

    I thought had outplayed us last yr was GWS. They were cruelled by

    injuries last year.

    So good to see West Coast struggling. 6 key players injured. Shepperd retired early. Darling and anti vax tard.

    Watched the highlights of Cats and Tigers. Geez the Tigers looked like they took a step back in time. Cats have seriously adjusted their game plan too but not sure it will be enough. Both look the goods for 2022. I get it’s only praccy matches but I think On that performance they are both a top 8 side.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
